Below Grade Snorkel Installation
If the Snorkel Termination must be installed
below grade, i.e. basement application,
proper drainage must be provided to prevent
water from entering the Snorkel Termination.
Refer to Dura-Vent Installation instructions
for details.. Do not attempt to enclose the
Snorkel within the wall, or any other type
of enclosure.
4) Install wall penetration heat shield in the center
of the 9-1/2" round hole and attach with wood
screws. The four wood screws provided should
be replaced with appropriate fasteners for
stucco, brick, concrete, or other types of sidings.
Diagram 3.
NOTE: For Snorkel terminations in ABOVE
grade installations, follow national or
local code requirements.

5) If installing termination on a siding covered
wall, a vinyl siding standoff or furring strips
must be used to ensure that the termination is
not recessed into the siding. Diagram. 3.
6) Take the Riser Vent terminal and separate the
Backing Plate from the Riser Vent Front by
removing 8 screws as shown in diagram 4.
7) Install the Backing Plate into the wall
penetration heat shield and attach using
4 screws. Diagram 4.
8) Connect all pipe sections to unit and
install into wall:
a) Measure pipe length required and
cut to length. Hint: use the cut end
of the 6-5/8" dia. outer pipe at the
fl ue terminal end.
b) Push the pipe sections completely
together, the minimum pipe overlap
is 1-1/4". Secure all outer pipe joints
by using at least two screws. Locate
the screws at the bottom of the pipe
so that the screw heads are hidden
on the fi nal installation. Apply seal-
ant "Mill-Pac" to inner pipe and high
temp silicone sealant or "Mill-Pac"
to outer pipe on every joint.
Hint: Apply sealant to female end.
c) Before connecting the fl ue pipe to
the fl ue termination, slide the black
decorative wall thimble cover over
the fl ue pipe, then slide the Wall
Penetration Heat Shield (Part #
946-202) over the fl ue pipe. Diagram
3.
d) Slide the appliance and fl ue assem-
bly towards the wall carefully insert-
ing the fl ue pipe into the riser vent
terminal assembly. It is important
that the fl ue pipe extends into the
Riser Vent Backing Plate a suffi cient
distance so as to result in a minimum
pipe overlap of 1-1/4 inches. Secure
the connection between the fl ue pipe
and the fl ue cap by attaching the two
sheet metal strips extending from
the Riser Vent Backing Plate into the
outer wall of the fl ue pipe. Use two
aluminum screws provided to con-
nect the strips to the pipe section.
Bend any remaining portion of the
sheet metal strip back towards the
fl ue cap and cut off any excess, it will
be concealed by the decorative wall
thimble cover. See diagram 5.
8) Slide the decorative wall thimble up to the
wall surface being careful not to scratch the
paint. See diagram 5.
9) Back outside: Apply sealant to the 4" inner
fl ue and slide the Riser Vent Front into the
Backing Plate and fasten with 8 screws.
IMPORTANT:
When connecting the pipe to the Riser
Vent, apply Mill-Pac to the inner pipe on
the Riser Vent Terminal, around the bead.
Ensure that the fl ue pipe is pushed past
the bead for a secure fi t.

10) Seal around the outer edge of the Riser
Vent Backing Plate.
